19th Century Love - Mansfield Park - Live Blog!

The missus claims that the best love scenes in this one are between the heroine and the scoundrel.

Frances O'Connor as Fanny (which means vagina in British English and butt in American English) and some unrecognizable actor as the scoundrel. Fanny says yes to Scoundrel in this scene. Scoundrel can't believe it! She's saying yes! The sun shines behind their heads as they spin and hug.

Then Fanny has second thoughts. Scoundrel brings her flowers and sings and Fanny rejects him. Frances O'Connor should get more work. Scoundrel freaks out on her because Fanny can't trust that he's left behind his scoundrel ways. Turns out he hasn't.

Fanny walks in on Scoundrel banging some married woman. Well, now, THAT's not very 19th century of them. Scandal ensues.

Turns out that Fanny and her cousin Edmund are supposed to be together. Cousins married back in the 19th century. Edmund confesses his love finally, and she thinks he means in the familial sense. No, Fanny. "Like a hero loves a heroine." "Like a junkie loves his heroin."

OH, EDMUND! And there goes the kiss! WE'VE GOT TONGUE! KISSING COUSINS WITH TONGUE!
